Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1004 AM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh winds may pulse in the
eastern Bay of Campeche nightly through the next several days.
Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form by the
early to middle part of next week over the northwestern Caribbean
Sea. Thereafter, gradual development of this system is possible,
and a tropical depression could form as the system moves slowly to
the north or northwest over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and
into the southern Gulf of Mexico through the end of next week.
There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next
seven days. Regardless of development, winds and seas will start
increasing across the SE Gulf early next week.
